CVE-2016-10372 is an improper access-control vulnerability in the Eir D1000 modem's TR-064 service. The modem does not properly restrict access to the protocol, enabling remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands through the service exposed on TCP port 7547. Exploitation can use the NewNTPServer feature and can be used to enable WAN access to the modem's HTTP service and retrieve the login password, which defaults to the Wi-Fi password.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (tr064_ntpserver_cmdinject.rb) that exploits a command injection vulnerability (CVE-2016-10372) in Zyxel/Eir D1000 DSL modems and similar devices. The exploit targets the TR-064 SOAP-based configuration protocol, specifically the SetNTPServers action, which is accessible without authentication on TCP port 7547. By injecting shell commands into the NewNTPServer1 parameter, the module achieves remote code execution as a privileged user. The exploit uses Metasploit's CmdStager to deliver a staged payload, typically resulting in a shell on the device. The module is operational and requires the target device to be running a vulnerable firmware version with the TR-064 service exposed. The main endpoints involved are the /UD/act?1 SOAP endpoint for exploitation and /globe for vulnerability checking. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module.
